  • What is csc.exe?

    When you use Internet Explorer 7, internet browsing, etc... I continually get this box pops up that says: "a website wants to open web content using this program on your computer" and it lists the program as 'csc.exe' by Microsoft.

    This happens on a Web site, including Yahoo.com.  Why is this happening?  What is csc.exe?  I repeat do not allow.  but the box will just go up again.  and while that on yahoo, I got fed up and just said, but still the box keeps popping up again and again.

    Is this a virus?

    Have a read of this article, especially the part about running with no Add-ons, see if that fixes the problem?
